Dear PoliceOne Member,During Thanksgiving weekend 2008, we watched the news of a prolonged terrorist attack unfold in Mumbai, India. All but one of the attackers — members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization — wound up dead, but not before they slaughtered more than 160 people and wounded more than 300 others.

Before Mumbai, many people had never before heard of a “swarm” attack, and even those of us familiar with the concept had not yet seen one of this scale take place. As we embark upon this long holiday weekend, it serves us well to reflect on the continuing threat posed by terrorists who would stop at nothing to do harm to the United States. —PoliceOne Senior Editor Doug Wyllie
